Roop Tera Mastana

Cannot remember the details, and cannot claim I understood the story as the movie was untranslated. But today and after 25 years or so since I saw it, I am still very impressed by the charm and beauty of Mumtaz, Anyone has this movie on DVD or CD ?

in this film, jeetu must have been about 30 yrs old - he comes across as a mature, young, energetic man. watching him closely will reveal that jeetu is a outstandingly handsome. the showcases his dramatic style in acting; exemplary dressing styles. at that time, to me, he becomes the most good looking man in showbiz - though that record is still unbeatable bcos one will see every upcoming actor wanting to become a jeetendra. he is indeed a blessing to the Hindi film world. this film, despite a social drama/love story, he excels in all ramification - though i don't know how it faired at the box office. mumtaz was a very good complement to jeetu as in all their other films.

A good movie to watch if you like a slight variation of Bombay's filmi formula. Kumar (Jeetendra) is a wealthy man who has been betroth to Usha (Mumtaz) since childhood.

Both love each other, and the family nourishes the relationship. The last will and testament of Usha's father makes some provisions that only can be crystallised when Usha attains majority; and there are codicils to the will that only Kumar can fulfil. Usha grows up as an orphan, and has all the negative attributes of a wealthy, whimsical person.

The plot develops nicely with Ajit, the secretary of Usha's late father taking over the script, with his inside knowledge of the family affairs of his late master. A fine performance.

Kiran, a girl brought up in a poor family, with good values gets drawn into the plot hatched by Ajit wily nilly, because she is a look-alike of Usha. Her conflict between good and bad, right and wrong is well portrayed by the nubile and expressive Mumtaz.

The direction is tight, cinematography above average and the comic interludes are barely tolerable. The usual song and dance routine is mostly forgettable. The main theme song is rather good, and recurs through the movie in appropriate places.

A movie that many can enjoy.

another of jeetu-mumtaz pairs - with charming love scene by the taj mahal fountain.

in this film, jeetu must have been about 30 yrs old - he comes across as a mature, young, energetic man. watching him closely will reveal that jeetu is outstandingly handsome. as western movies display the good physique of their heroes, this film showcases jeetu's dramatic style in acting and exemplary dressing styles.

at that time, to me, he becomes the most good looking man in showbiz/entertainment world. i've never seen anyone as handsome as he is. in nigeria, we Hindi filmgoers acknowledge this then. though that record is still unbeatable because one continues to see every upcoming actor in Hindi films wanting to become a jeetendra.

he is indeed a blessing to the Hindi film world. this film, despite a social drama/love story, he excels in all ramification. mumtaz was a very good complement to jeetu as in all their other films.
